Germany to give spy services more cloak-and-dagger powers

BERLIN: The German government Wednesday signed off on a major overhaul of the country’s intelligence agencies to give them broad new powers to conduct covert operations and take action against foreign threats. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced a “new era” for Germany’s secret services, which have until now been largely limited to gathering intelligence. The services will get greater latitude to conduct non-lethal operations such as hacking enemy servers or conducting sabotage under the reforms that still have to pass parliament before taking effect early next year.
